About
Tours in:

Bergs & Burgs is a travel company creating immersive, story-driven tours across military history, local history, and pop culture.

The company's flagship work follows Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment — the unit made famous by Band of Brothers — across their WWII route through Europe, from Aldbourne and Normandy to Bastogne and the Eagle's Nest. Every tour is built on ground-level research: routes are walked in person, locations verified, and stories checked against the historical record before they reach a traveler's ears.

Closer to home, Bergs & Burgs has also turned its lens on Denver, Colorado, producing walking tours through the city's downtown and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. The company continues to expand its catalog across military history, local history, and film, with new tours in development.

Bergs & Burgs was founded by James Skeffington, an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, whose own military background and family ties to the Easy Company story shape the company's approach to guiding travelers through history.
